Amazing Nascar VIP Experience at the Atlanta Motor Speedway
This bygone week, my booster and I attended the Atlanta Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Cup cannonball along. I ingest been a fan of Nascar for ended twenty geezerhood and have attended many races, but this experience was like none opposite. We were provided a VIP experience which allowed us to have an all entree twenty-four hours inside the garage area, hang out with the JTG Daughtery Race team, watch the race in the pit area, and attend the number one wood's group meeting. What a erst in a lifetime opportunity! When I received the invitation to attend, I simply couldn't reach it up. Kroger Centennial State. made this each possible.
Meet and chat with AJ Allmendinger
Kroger sponsor's the JTG Daugherty Racing #47 Monster Energy Cup car which is driven by AJ Allmendinger. I was given the opportunity earlier the race to interview AJ Allmendinger. I learned a lot about him and do it that he truly loves racing.
Visit the garage
We were provided a tour through the garage and pit arena by Coleman, AJ's spotter. It was pretty fascinating to check the teams prepare their cars right in front the airstream. Some of the things that they have to check are air pressure in the tires, cause trusty the wheels are dependable and check all fluids.
Head down Pit Row
We continue the tour by gallery down in the mouth Pit Row. This area is same important for the team and driver. This is where the action mechanism takes place. I was aghast to learn and see how many tires that the car will go through in extraordinary race. You find out the tires arrange and available to go, plus all the equipment they need to make any adjustments on the car if needed. During a normal pit block, the pit crew leave change tires, make adjustment to the handling of the car by using the adjusting wedge, refuel the car, and remove the windscreen tear sour to clean the windowpane.
After Pit Row, Coleman took us over to see the #47 car hauler. This is where the automobile is kept for the race. I did not know this but they get on an extra car just in sheath their first car is wrecked during practice. However, in the real race if the original automobile is destroyed the extra car cannot be used.
Go to Driver's Meeting
After the enlistment, we attended the driver's meeting. This is a very important get together that is conducted before every pelt along. They go over track procedures with all the drivers and bunch chief. It is mandatory for all drivers and crew chiefs to attend this meeting. From my understanding, if they are missing from the meeting, they are fined and volition commencement at the rearwards of the race.
Enjoy a southern BBQ luncheon with the team
After the meeting, we burr-headed back to the motorhome for lunch. The squad embattled us delicious southern BBQ Ribs, Smoked Sausage, slaw, baked beans, and fruit. We got to jaw with some of the team members over lunch and they shared with us what a typical week looks like for them on tour. They every seemed to really enjoy and love what they do!
Race Time
Afterward lunch, it was time to start header to the Pit Box again but this time to watch the race. The Stone pit Box is where the Work party Chief and other mechanical personnel sit during the run off. There are several computers in this area that keep statistics of each lap and how the car is manipulation during a race. They use this equipment to help make up one's mind the adjustments that may need to be made to the car during the race. We wore a headset that allowed us to listen to the communicating between driver and crew chief. Being capable to posture Hera and watch the race almost like you are behind the scenes, was the most amazing receive!
Symmetric though I feature been to many races in the sometime, this puts a unimpaired rising view along how in depth NASCAR racing really is. It is more than just a car going or so on a track. It is about teamwork, hard work, dedication, and sometimes tough races or race victories!
